Day 641

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Once I got sober, I realized the world didn't revolve around me.  I always cared for other people, but was always really selfish, because of my addiction.  That always came first.  But once I got sober, that all changed.  The caringness was there again, and was genuine.  It wasn't a flip-flop between alcohol and people.  I wasn't having to choose which was more important.  I just knew, and it wasn't me.  I wasn't having to play mind games, second-guessing myself, and making myself feel bad for decisions I made.  I could just makde the right decision the first time.  It is such a great feeling, a freeing feeling.  Sobriety has opened my eyes to so many things.  I am so grateful.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
